Rapid Redux has won nearly all his races in front-running style (Maryland Jockey Club/Jim McCue)

Robert L. Cole Jr.'s Rapid Redux will try to make racing history on Monday when he takes on 10 rivals, including one also-eligible, in the 8TH race at Mountaineer Park. The Pleasantly Perfect gelding is riding a 19-race win streak and seeks to set a new North American record in consecutive victories when he goes in the one-mile starter allowance.

Rapid Redux began his string of victories in an $8,000 claimer at Penn National in December 2010. He returned off that victory to take a $10,000 claimer at the same track just nine days later and continued running, and winning, twice a month until June of this season. The chestnut has scored at distances ranging from 4 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles during his career.

Rapid Redux tied the current modern-day record of 19 straight wins -- shared by Horse of the Year Zenyatta and undefeated New Mexico queen Peppers Pride -- when capturing a seven-furlong allowance at Laurel Park on October 27, which was his second win of the month.
